Stream Settings
Messages coming into CanIt are categorized as either:

Valid E-mail, which is delivered.

Obvious SPAM, which is automatically just dropped

Potential SPAM, which is put in a “Trap Area” and held onto

The values on the Stream Settings page allow you to adjust the SPAM score values for messages to be Trapped by the system (category 3 messages).

Messages scoring above the Automatically reject messages scoring more than this amountvalue will be automatically rejected as SPAM and moved to your SPAM Trap.

Messages scoring below the Spam threshold value will be automatically sent to your INBOX.

Messages that score in between these two values will be held in your SPAM Trap as Pending messages. Pending messages are those that you have to determine whether they are SPAM or valid E-mail.

Notification
Allows you to tailor how often you are notified about e-mail in your SPAM quarantine.
The default is once-per-day at 3:00PM.

Set Default Stream
The Sub-Tab ‘Set Default Stream’ is not applicable in the current configuration and should not require any changes.
